Book Synopsis The Gender and Psychology Reader by : Blythe Clinchy
Book excerpt: Touches upon most of the significant and controversial underlying issues involved in the study of gender, including methodological issues. The selections included range from research summaries on particular topics (e.g. gender differences in emotion), to work on development of gendered self-concepts, to discussion of psychology's ambivalence about the study of difference and its failure to systematically consider race, ethnicity, and class. The concluding chapter considers unifying themes, gaps in current perspectives, and future directions. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
